Hi all,
since i upgraded to kde4.2 (from experimental) i cannot play any video with
dragon player.

I think i installed all the required plugins (my phonon backend is gstreamer):

$ aptitude search ~igstreamer
i A gstreamer0.10-alsa - GStreamer plugin for ALSA
i A gstreamer0.10-plugins-base - GStreamer plugins from the "base" set
i gstreamer0.10-plugins-good - GStreamer plugins from the "good" set
iB gstreamer0.10-plugins-really-bad - GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set
i gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly - GStreamer plugins from the "ugly" set
i A gstreamer0.10-x - GStreamer plugins for X11 and Pango
i A libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 - GStreamer libraries from the "base" set
i A libgstreamer0.10-0 - Core GStreamer libraries and elements
i A phonon-backend-gstreamer - Phonon GStreamer 0.10.x backend
$

before upgrade i was using xine backend.

Am i missing something? Should i return to xine backend?

Using mplayer everything works.

Below i pasted dragon player output, if you need more info, please ask.

Thanks all

The backend are not intended do be completly feature compatible with regards to formats understood as I understand it. I have music here that works with xine but not with gstreamer.

I switched back to xine and I guess that one just has to check what fits best to one's personal needs.

mplayer supports different formats, comparing does not help. You might want to check [1]. Does anybody know about release plans of the mplayer or vlc phonon plugins?

In fact using the xine backend everything works again.

I was asking because with gstreamer i cannot even play ogg videos, which is a
free format and so should be well supported.
It just seemed strange that the preferred (the one automatically installed)
backend cannot handle it and i immediately thought about a problem...

thanks

Same with me, weired ogg problems, making me accuse Amarok for droping a important standard. I guess Phonon messes up the direct "line of blame".
